There's a host of apps listed at http://pygtk.org/applications.html My dayjob involves hacking on a 25KLOC PyGTK program (it's based on the 0.6 line, which is why I don't know much about the 2.x line). I know Graham works on an pygtk-2.x application that is more than twice as large (in LOC) than the one I'm working on.

I'm assuming the majority of users are on Linux. Do you Note that there's been a lot of reports of people successfully using PyGTK on Windows recently; Cedric's done a good job on his build and the Dropline installer has made installing the GTK+ dependencies a cynch. > have any evidence that people are adopting PyGTK because it is easier > to build GUI apps on Linux than using C/C++? Is it really necessary to gather evidence? ;) It's clear to me that [a lot] more people will be able to hack Python than C/C++, specially when it comes to GUI applications of non-trivial size -- it's just that much more productive and easier to maintain.
